STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

Liskeard and Looe Foodbank registered as a charity with the Charities Commission on 13[th] May 2019 under charity number 1183375.

Organisational Structure

Trustees

Liskeard and Looe Foodbank is managed by a board of trustees. The members are people from different walks of life who bring a diverse range of expertise from their working lives. They all give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or financial benefits for the work they undertake.

The Trustees board meetings are held at least quarterly. During the past year due to COVID-19 some meetings have been conducted by Zoom.

Formal business is conducted by discussion and consensus. The board takes responsibility for all policy decisions and the charity’s finances. The minutes of board meetings constitute the formal record of proceedings and decisions taken and approved by the trustees.

Trustees are appointed or reappointed at the charity’s Annual General Meeting.

Financial Oversight

The Foodbank has a newly appointed treasurer this year who is also a trustee. He reports regularly to the trustees as to the charity’s ongoing financial status. The manager and administrator of the Foodbank carry out much of the day-to-day financial management under close supervision of the treasurer.

Employees:

The Foodbank employs a part time manager, stock manager and administrator who oversee the smooth running of the charity.

Volunteers:

Liskeard and Looe Foodbank currently has 54 volunteers.

The main depot is located in Liskeard where the Foodbank manager oversees most of the Foodbank ’s operation which includes all administration and accounting responsibilities, warehouse management, supermarket collections, stock management, food distribution and deliveries. The manager is supported by the administrator and stock manager.

When Emma Greenwood, the Trussell Trust’s South West Area Manager visited in the Summer of 2021 she commented that the Foodbank has a happy group of volunteers who clearly enjoy their work.

There is also a smaller satellite depot at St James Church in Torpoint, run by a small team of volunteers. This depot opens twice a week and holds food boxes, toiletries and cleaning items which are distributed to clients in the Torpoint area.

In addition to the depot Torpoint library also holds some emergency food boxes which can be distributed to clients during the week when St James church is closed.

Related Organisations

Liskeard and Looe Foodbank is affiliated to the Trussell Trust, a charity based in Salisbury, which is registered in England and Wales under charity number 1110522. The Trussell Trust continues to provide invaluable advice and support on how best to operate safely and in-line with Government guidelines.

The Foodbank gathers information which is forwarded to the Trussell Trust to enable them to present evidence to Government departments of the true picture facing many families throughout the United Kingdom of food poverty, deprivation, and hardship.

Developments at the Foodbank during 2021

Fundraising/donations

In the summer of 2021 one of the Foodbank’s trustees organised a running event raising £1,178 by a crowdfunding page. The event was well attended by local people and provided staff and volunteers the opportunity to raise awareness of the work the Foodbank does in the community.

The Foodbank has also been able to do collections at Sainsbury’s and Morrisons supermarket. Apart from food and monetary donations volunteers and staff once again took the opportunity to raise the profile of the Foodbank.

In November we started our Christmas Campaign raising donations for Christmas boxes. We worked in partnership with Liskeard Secondary School, Torpoint Infant and Junior schools as well as referral agencies to identify people/families most in need of support.

A crowdfunding page raised £850 and various businesses also donated generously to the campaign. We were able to provide 149 Christmas boxes and also provided a £10 Co-op voucher for meat, vegetables, and fruit to people most in need.

Non-perishable food is donated by the public at a variety of places, such as schools, churches, and businesses, as well as supermarket collection points. The food is transported to the Foodbank, where it is weighed, sorted, and packed into food boxes.

Care professionals such as health visitors, staff at schools and social workers identify people in crisis and issue them with an e-referral voucher. This voucher can be exchanged for a foodbank box of three days’ nutritionally balanced, non-perishable food.

Foodbank staff not only offer a listening ear but provide signposting support to help people resolve the crises they’re facing. This could include signposting clients to other agencies for help with debt, homelessness, housing, or benefit advice.

To comply with government guidelines the Foodbank changed its operating procedure at the start of the pandemic and continued with a ‘ delivery only’ model to protect the volunteers working at the Foodbank. We have reduced opening to three morning a week and put volunteers into three teams to ensure the safe and effective running of the Foodbank. Everyone has to scan the NHS QR code, wear masks and sanitise work stations at the end of each shift.

Raising awareness of the Foodbank

This year the Foodbank has been very proactive in raising awareness of the work we do. We have

Primary Causes of Referral in 2021

Whilst low income has always been a factor why people use the Foodbank it is now the main reason people need support. The most significant changes in the past year were the removal of the Universal Credit uplift in October 2021 and the sharp increase in utility bills. The removal of £20 per week continues to have a negative impact on people’s living standards. For many it is now a choice of ‘eat’ or ‘heat. The Foodbank regularly listens to parent’s accounts of missing meals to ensure their children have enough to eat.
